Use different feature definitions (FDs) within the same complex Element

In Rail track engineering, it is common to have an existing track and a client wants to modify its geometry, but only partially. That means that parts that are changed VS parts which remain unchanged should be marked with different FD. However, on...

Analyze Trace Slope Tool enhancements

A couple suggestions for this tool: 1) Be abl e to see the dynamic slope line without first placing a line. I have to click somewhere in my file for it to place the line in the 3 D model before I am able to see the line at all. After this line is...

Trace Slope - Line Style - add direction

One issue I've found with the trace slope is that the direction is adjustable (can be down or up) and ORD isn't smart enough to change the direction of the line. This causes two issues: 1) One of your flow directions is going to be wrong, dependin...

Use 3D Element Elevation when using Edit Terrain > Insert Vertex

When inserting a vertex on a terrain using the edit tools, the vertex is put at 0 elevation (if outside the terrain) and at the terrain elevation (if inside the terrain) even if you snap to a 3D element. The current workaround requires moving the ...

Rules between reference files

Indicate in the reference manager if Civil Rules exist between files. When attempting to create a snap rule to an element that is in a reference file display a warning message. Prevent circular reference errors created by snap rules between refere...

Add WorkSet-wide project components to Explorer

It would be extremely useful to be able to have a list of all the project components in a WorkSet easily accessible from the explorer, regardless of what dgn you are in. Exactly like the sheet index tool but for terrain models, alignments, corrido...

Make the Accudraw compass size smaller in profile view.

At the default size the Accudraw compass is huge when working in an exaggerated profile view. If I change it to a more useful size then it's tiny in plan view. Can you make it so the compass is a certain factor smaller in the profile view based on...

Add Point Projection Interval Option to "Create 3D By Slope To Target" Tool

Currently when using the "Create 3D By Slope To Target" Tool, ORD seems to only project a point at every vertex of a 3D line string. This is fine when using the Geometry Tools to create 3D line strings since it creates a vertex point in 3D based o...

Dynamic Cross Section View - Retain User Settings

Users often make changes to the different fit options in the Dynamic XS view that are not persisted when the file is closed or a section via datapoint is issued (Fit Section / Center Backbone / Center on Current Offsets). It defaults back to the F...

Clipping export of 3D models using Named Boundaries to separate dgns

When exporting a model to IFC it is possible to export the model splitting to Named Boundary Groups. This is very powerfull because you can split your model and the volume reports in smaller parts. It would also be good if you can split the dgn to...
